... So... I'm not dead... nor have I been brutally injured in anyway... honestly... I was just busy and... had writers block... but I'm out of it.. and have finally figured out where I want to go with the story... so you might expect an update every now and then... just don't get angry!

I'm sorry for not posting but I had reasons! I'll try harder!

Russia: You better, da!

DarkAngel2412: I will, I will! just not the pipe please!

Russia: Fine, just post more or there will be consequences... da?


Journal... I've decided after the way they were reacting to the revelation at the meeting that I won't tell them anything more, that they've lost the privilege to know all the details a long time ago. Maybe I would have told them sooner if they didn't ignore, forget or confuse me with Alfred all the time!... Sorry Journal... back to what had happened.

"You want to talk about all this?" I asked in a quiet cold voice... well it was only cold to the people that know me the best. Ukraine, Romano and Is all froze when they heard my tone. My 'family' didn't even react to it at all. "... Fine, but Ukraine didn't you say that you had to go to the bathroom while we were coming back?" I asked and turned to look at her.

"I did?" She questioned. I gave her a look. "You know the bathroom that right next to the bedroom, with my bags in it?" Romano, Is and Ukraine all realized what I was trying to do, but my family didn't... of course...

"Oh right I did!" She then turned to go and gave me a quick wink and then disappeared down the hallway. Then everyone's attention was back to me, Is smirked, Romano coughed and England just sighed.

"Come along Madeline, sit down and we'll discuss this properly, and your friends will have to leave, this is a family discussion." England said. "Ma Cherie, L'Angleterre is correct this is probably going to get... ah.. difficult so it is best if it is family only" France said agreeing with England... if you could believe it.

"Maddie! I have to protect you from Volcanoes, the Mafia and Commies!" America cried out. Is and Romano took offence to that and I took offence to that for Ukraine.

"America!" He seemed to look sad that I addressed him officially, " There are volcanoes in your country, organized crime and very nice people that have immigrated from Ukraine, Russia and other former and currect communist countries." I finished screaming at him.

While I was screaming this at America, Is silently took out a piece of paper , which I noticed out of the corner of my eye had US and THEM written on it. He silently ticked off US with a point and put it away again.

"Canada! This is not a mocking matter now sit down and lets discuss this, and apologize to your brother!" England cut me before I could continue screaming at America for bad-mouthing my friends.

America seemed to remember what was happening and did something that scared the shit out of me, he actually look serious and calm and England and France were doing the same.

By now I had seen Kumagido run back and forth a couple of times carrying luggage in his mouth. I'll have to remember to give him a big piece of fish after I finish writing this. Thankfully no one else realized what Ukraine was getting him to do. But then I saw him clawing at the door and then Ukraine ran back and pretended to notice him doing that.

"Oh, Canada! Your precious bear wants to go out, I'll take him out okay?" She asked while managing to look completely innocent... I have to get her to teach me how to do that...

"OK, but take Is with you," I said while he looked up startled. He looked at me, Ukraine and then looked at the door. He then realized what we were trying to do and having him help with my bags would help pull this off.

"Ok, but give me your room key, so we don't disrupt your discussion," he said. We all agreed and I gave him the key with a little note saying to get me checked out of the room but to tell the staff to give us an hour to get out.

He sensed what the note said, I still don't know how he knew but he nodded and then they went to the door and after a bit then left with Kumagiso.

So, Journal when they left it was just me, Romano, and my family. Not the best group for a serious discussion... But what happened next was... unexpected to say the least...

"Romano... I know you're a close friend.." England started but was cut off my Romano "One of her best friends! And not to mention one of the people that made her feel better after you guys forgot her, stupid bastards." He finished with a humph.

They all looked guilty about that. "Well as I was saying... before you oh so kindly cut me off, I'm going to ask you to leave so we can discuss this as a family, without... others getting involved." England finished with a sigh.

"Listen here you old fart, before you even-" Romano started but then I cut him off, "Romano, this isn't going to be pleasant, maybe it would be best if you weren't here to view this." I finished.

He looked at me and sighed and agreed, "Fine, but if they try anything, call me or Is or Ukraine and we'll be up here faster than you can say you bastards, ok? I'm gonna go find them." With that turned to the door, looked back at the three of them with a glare and then opened the door and walked through it and disappeared from sight.

Journal, with Romano down there helping them get prepared to help me sneak out, I could be sure I was getting out of this conversation. Now it was just me and my family... not going to end up well...

I turned around to face them and asked, "Ok... who wants coffee or tea?" in a pleasant tone.

...What I panicked?

Journal the way they were all looking so serious was scaring me quite a bit... I mean even ALFRED was serious... that never happens.

"Canada..." England started.

"Oh shit, he used my country name... he must be PISSED," is what I thought.

"Canada, NO ONE wants anything to drink, not sit down and lets discuss this." England all but shouted.

"Sigh... fine..." I sat down on one of the couches in the room.

Journal... what happened next... I have no words to describe what I felt when it all went down...


Maddie's getting sneaky now, isn't she?

Well... hopefully this comes out faster next time...

BTW I'm sorry for making you all wait... months for this and it isn't even good! SORRY!

... and yes I'm Canadian... I'm allowed to apologize a lot...
